That game has been in development forever. Looks pretty awesome, but at the same time watching the gameplay trailer makes me feel like it would be a little... boring? Not sure what it is. Seems very slow paced flying around having to carry dudes. Love everything else about it, though.

Herzog Zwei, anyone? Played the crap out of that game. :]_________________loomsoft :]

there's a demo for owlboy somewhere.. i've played it, and it's actually fun. has puzzles, etc. and the carrying isn't that annoying because you can teleport them to you if i remember correctly.. you use the guys to shoot for you since the own cant shoot..

The trailer for Dishonored looks really sweet.

I looked up this thread to post about this, but you have me beat by a couple of months now. It sounds like it has some Deus Exiness to it, with the ability to approach objectives in multiple ways and (from what I read) some consequences to your action depending on the things you do. One of the guys who did the original Deus Ex is working on this Dishonored game as well. I'm pretty interested in seeing more of this now._________________The end of the game, yes, is pretty much getting the weapon and killing off the population.mashup games . com | Finally! - A Lode Runner Story

*shrug* Typical Japan.

I'm undecided if I care or not. It looks like it has a lot of waiting (long cinematic special attacks). These limited-run Japanese localizations are pricey. $50 base w/ OST, $65 Special Edition (WTF!? A "Bath Set"!?), $99 Special Edition w/ Figures.

*cough* Of course I always buy the cheapest ones. If I wanted a sponge, I'd buy a sponge._________________Mike Kasprzak

It's nice knowing that it's not going to be an FPS. ;)_________________Mike Kasprzak

As it turns out, Dragon Quest X will be an MMO and for Wii.

I'm so conflicted!_________________Mike Kasprzak

It's for WiiU too. At least it used to be._________________My Blog | I take steroids for my bad knee. Now I can kick a smart car across the Walmart parking lot![/size]

Well we still need a Wii U to launch first. I think they were using Wii U controllers in the vid._________________Mike Kasprzak

I was going to make some critiques about the game, but as it turns out, the original was less advanced than I once though. Wikipedia and Apogee's own site says ROTT was actually an attempt at a sequel to Wolfenstein (post Hitler), but it blew up in to something bigger. Still, ya._________________Mike Kasprzak

Yeah, for some reason they ID didn't want to call it Wolfenstein because they thought it would distract people from their new IP Doom :P.

I hadn't played RotT since days long gone so I downloaded the shareware version from 3drealms and I must say that I'm impressed that they managed to do what they did with a modified version of the wolfengine.

I do need to figure out how to turn off forward/backwards movement with the mouse thought._________________My Blog | I take steroids for my bad knee. Now I can kick a smart car across the Walmart parking lot![/size]

As someone who disappeared into WoW for a long period of time, never again.

It surprises me that there can be so many MMOs on the market at the same time - how many people realistically are going to put hundreds of hours into these games? Are there people out there playing 2 or more MMOs at once? It boggles the mind._________________Avatar: Yu Suzuki (Virtual Fighter, Shenmue)

if you do a search online about mmo demographics, it's kind of interesting.. but I suppose if you delve into it, it's not that surprising.
I personally wouldn't want to put in countless hours for a game either.

I know I would be easy prey for MMOs. For that reason, I never bought WoW, Eve Online, ... Otherwise, I am 100% sure I would have never finished anything at all! For the same reason I play almost no games anymore... And I'll stay the heck away from Diablo 3! Numero Dos already cost me so much time. :-)

Everytime I think about MMOs with the left side of my brain, I see no fun in playing 100s of hours just to raise a couple of numbers on a server on the internet... but my right-side brain screams: "LEVEL UP!!!!!!!"_________________My current project: Hook'd

What I don't like are the monthly fees. I'd feed obligated to play if I'm forking out $15 a month. I don't want that. I want the flexibility to pick-up-and-play whenever. Like with Diablo 3, I can sit down with friends and beat a chapter in an evening._________________Mike Kasprzak
